This project contains data collected by the Argos System from satellite transmitters attached to 12 Pacific Loon (data collected through Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center funding), 47 Red-throated Loon, and 85 Yellow-billed Loon. Birds were tracked along coastal regions of Alaska, northern Canada, the contiguous United States, and portions of Russia and Asia.

This interactive webmap shows USGS dam removal monitoring locations in the Klamath River basin. Monitoring activities include: suspended-sediment, macroinvertebrates, suspended sediment sampling, topographic surveying, bathymetric surveying, geomorphologic mapping, and riparian vegetation mapping.

The Proxies Project is a series of studies to improve our understanding of water contaminants and water quality hazards. These studies develop models and technical approaches for estimating concentrations and assessing risk associated with:

- harmful algal blooms (HABs)

- per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)

-12 elements of concern (EoC) The Proxies Project is a series of studies to impro

Drinking-water quality and potential exposures to per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) at the point-of-use (tapwater) are a rising concern in the United States (US).

A database and interactive tool for inland fisheries management and research. State natural resource agencies endeavor to provide high-quality and sustainable fishing opportunities for anglers. Managers often use creel and other angler survey data to inform management efforts. CreelCat aims to provide managers and decision-makers with tools to aid the management of recreational fisheries.

Climate change is an important factor affecting fish globally. This site provides a comprehensive database of peer-reviewed literature available on how climate change has impacted and will continue to impact inland fishes worldwide. Managers and biologists can use these results to inform management strategies and adaptation approaches.

The Dixie fire burned steep hillslopes in the northern Sierra Nevada California during the summer of 2021. The burn area was impacted by two significant storms in October 2021 and June 2022. These storm events resulted in very different types of rainfall and very different postfire flow events. This story map uses maps, photos, and rainfall data to highlight the storms and their impacts.

This interactive narrative summarizes a new U.S. Geological Survey report wherein monitoring data collected between 2007 and 2018 are used to provide insights into the changing water quality of urban streams in Fairfax County and the potential role of water-quality management practices.

The Flood-inundation maps for 10 New Jersey counties show areas of potential coastal flooding from wind driven storm surge, allowing users to access real-time tidal elevation data from the USGS New Jersey Tide Network webpage. This information can be used to display flood-inundation maps for a range of tidal elevations to better understand areas of potential flooding. 

Collection of Cooperative Research Units Program (USGS Ecosystems Mission Area) year in review reports and abstracts. We provide graduate education in fisheries and wildlife sciences and partner with natural resource agencies and universities on topics of mutual concern. Today, there are 42 Units in 40 States, with a national program office in Reston, Virginia.

A decision support tool for conifer treatment to restore greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) habitat within the Bi-State, California and Nevada, area. This tool provides a science-based approach for prioritizing pinyon and juniper removal to improve habitat for greater sage-grouse in the Bi-State Distinct Population Segment.
